"Iannah, you're part of Student Council diba, Secretary?" I asked Iannah, I'm just curious if this is really true. If the name of that VP is Axel Gray Angeles, hindi ako makapaniwala!

"Yes," maikling sagot niya.

"So you know, nagkakasama kayo nung Vice President sa Student Council?" I asked. She raised her brows at tumango nalang. She's so masungit to me, and so tahimik lagi.

"Did you know his name?" I asked again, I just want to assure if Axel ba talaga yung name. Baka mamaya its just a poser, then ginamit lang yung mukha ni VP.

"Seriously? Vice President ng Student Council hindi mo kilala? Akala ko ba Editor-in-Chief ka?" mataray na sagot niya. I just want to know lang naman e, but tinarayan niya ako.

I smiled at her, "I'm just asking lang naman, can you tell me? Please?" I do the beautiful eyes, para she's not going to make taray sa akin ng todo.

"Axel Gray," maikling sabi niya.

Omg! I'm so kinikilig! Axel Gray Angeles, just add me on facebook! I can't explain my feels, I'm overwhelmed, he add me on facebook! Hindi ko in-expect, mygosh!

"Hala! Thank you twinny!" Masiglang sabi ko sa kanya.

She rolled her eyes, but there's no big deal naman for me. I'm so happy kaya! I click the confirm button, he's so gwapo pala talaga. Kaso ang fierce niya, mukhang snobber talaga. I decided to message him.

Iarrah: Helloooo Axel is your naman pala huh? Akala ko you're masungit. Ayieeee you crush me 'no? You added me on facebook, agad-agad! HAHAHAHA.

Nilabas ko na yung notebook ko para habang I'm waiting sa reply niya, gumagawa na rin ako ng assignment. I look at my phone but until now wala parin siyang reply. He's masungit nga, ganun ba talaga kapag nasa student council? Masungit? Just like Iannah, she's masungit din.

Napa-ngiti ako nang marinig ko 'yung notification ko, I hope na nag-reply si Axel!

Axel: Sorry. I don't have time for this. 

Napa-woah ako, like if wala siyang time sana hindi siya nag-reply. Napa-ngiti tuloy ako, I'm so kinikilig! I can feel it, he's nahihiya lang sa akin. But hindi ko maisip why they feel so shy sa akin, I'm Iarrah lang kaya.

Iarrah: Really? But you reply parin, how sweet! I'm kinilig ng very light! HAHAHAHA.

He just seen my last reply, pero atleast! I know his name na, and we're already friends sa facebook.

The next morning, I'm not late! I'm so maaga today kasi feeling ko I'm super inspired para pumasok ng maaga. I greeted all my classmate, and smile at them. Masyadong light yung mood ko today nakaka-tuwa!

When I'm paakyat na sana, I saw him.

"Axel!" Napatigil siya sa paglalakad then he looked at me. "Hehe, good morninggg!" Masiglang bati ko sa kanya.

Tatalikod na sana siya, "Hey! Wala bang 'good morning' back dyan?" Naka-ngiting sabi ko sa kanya. He doesn't want to talk talaga, buti kaya niya 'yon. Ako kasi parang I can't.

"Huy! You're so nice talking 'no? Whats your strand? You're grade 12 din right? Just so you know, HUMSS strand ko and I'm grade 12 din hihi."

"ABM 12," maikling sagot niya at nag-lakad na ulit. Kaya pala nasa first floor lang siya kasi ABM. Sana all nasa first floor.

After my class naisipan kong mapag-isa. I just want to be alone, parang its nakakapagod din pala na mag-salita. Char! There's a lot of work kasi sa room, then iniisip ko pa yung task ko sa School Publication because I'm the Editor-in-Chief. I just want to breathe. I feel so stressed kasi, I want to relax kahit a little bit lang.

Change plans. I saw Axel parang lonely din siya, I decided to follow him. Gusto ko siyang kulitin, first time na walang kumausap sa akin. Excempted na si Iannah, kasi I'm just an air lang naman sa kanya.

"Hi Axel!" Nakita kong nagulat siya pero nawala rin agad. Like he just want to snob me talaga.

Pumunta kami sa bench na malapit sa science laboratory, so dito pala siya natambay?

"Hello! Ikaw ha, you add me on facebook! You have a crush on me 'no?" Panimula ko, I tried to teased him, but still he's tahimik parin.

"Aw, you looked so sad kamo. Hindi naman sa nakiki-alam ako, pero parang ganun na nga hehe." I smiled, "Narinig ko kasi kahapon pinapagalitan ka, I'm just curious. Ano ba yung nabagsak mo?" Tiningnan niya lang ako, para bang hindi siya makapaniwala na I asked him.

"Hala sorry, I'm nakiki-alam ba? Sorry!" Siguro I'm invading his privacy na.

"Accounting." I'm so shocked na sinagot niya.

"Wow! Why? Its so mahirap ba?" He didn't answer. Common sense Iarrah, hindi siya magfi-fail if madali lang 'yon.

"Alam mo? Nung junior highschool kami may ganyan din kami, about debit and credit right? For me its basic, kaso feel ko hindi siya para sa akin thats why I take HUMSS for my strand." I can see na parang he wants to tell something but ayaw niyang sabihin. Ganun ba talaga kahirap mag-talk para sa kanya? Siguro he wants to tell, 'share mo lang?' because kanina pa ako nagta-talk dito hindi niya naman ako sinasagot.

"I see. Sige, pero kahit bumagsak ka habol ka parin! Ire-take mo, yung campeign nga for Student Council na win mo. Accounting pa kaya? Go Axel!" I cheered him pero parang feel ko tuloy I looked stupid because kanina pa ako nagta-talk pero ini-snob niya lang yung beauty ko.

"And dzuh, its August pa naman, wala pang release ng grades kaya mo pa humabol. May finals pa!" Masigla kong sabi sa kanya. I tap his shoulder, "Condolence."

Bigla naman siyang napatingin sa akin with a confused look, "What the hell?" I'm so nagulat nang sinabi niya 'yan.

"What?" Inosenteng sabi ko.

"Condolence? Hindi ako namatayan." I just laugh a little bit lang.

"I'm just nakikiramay lang, parang yung grades mo kasi patay na kapag hindi mo inayos 'yan hihi." I saw his smile, parang pinipigilan niya lang.

I feel like he's so nai-inis na sa akin but hindi niya parin ako pinapa-alis. Well,  sabagay kahit paalisin niya ako, hindi parin ako aalis. Napa-isip tuloy ako, why kaya ayaw niya mag-talk? Ayaw niya ba sa presence ko or . . . omygosh.

"Axel, you didn't brush your teeth ba?" I asked him innocently, kasi I'm kanina pa nagta-talk but I just received 'tingin.' That's unfair kaya.

He slightly raised his brows, "What are you talking about?" he reply coldly.

I smiled widely, he's so gwapo nung nag-raised siya ng brows. Omg! I clapped my hands, "Hala, you talked! Improving!" Siguro I look so stupid na para sa kanya, but I don't care basta I'm happy!

I look at his eyes, "Alam mo I know you have a problems. Ang super sad ng mga mata mo. Kung yung problem mo is yung nag-fail ka, nako stop na. Masaya kaya minsan ma-fall. . . ." He look at me, ". . . lalo na kung sa akin ka mahulog." I winked.

I'm so natutuwa kasi I feel so cute sa pag-winked ko, pero parang mas natuwa ako sa reaction niya.  I don't know but feeling ko kinikilig siya? Like I'm so kinikilig rin, nao-overwhelmed ako masyado, nahampas ko tuloy siya.

"Omg!  Sorry! I saw you kasi, pinipigilan mo yung smile mo. You're kinikilig 'no? Aminin." Natatawa kong sabi.

I stopped laughing when I saw Iannah, naka-tingin siya sa amin ni Axel.

Umiiyak ba siya?

"Hala Axel, sorry! I need to go na, something important!"

Nag-madali na akong ayusin yung things ko. Hindi na ako tumingin sa kanya, for sure hindi naman siya magsasalita. Susundan ko si Iannah. I'm worried, minsan ko lang siya makitang umiyak.

I saw her talaga, Iannah's crying! Nag-alala ako. Ako rin yung nasasaktan para sa kanya. Ano bang nangyari?

Sinalubong ko si Iannah, hindi ako mapakali, she's crying! Nagka-banggan tuloy kami.

"Ano ba?! Lagi ka nalang humaharang!"

She yelled at me, naramdam ko yung pain sa pagbitaw niya ng simpleng salita.

Shocks! Ano bang nangyari?
